My first encounter with nachos dates back to the time when the first PVR theater opened up in my small, lovely town Indore. I do not remember the movie I had gone to watch, but I do remember the scrawny guy at the snack counter saying- “We have Samosa and we have Nachos” I did not…

I have mentioned in my blog archives that I am a child of an inter-caste marriage. My mum belongs to North-India, to a state called U.P, and my dad was a Konkani from Mangalore, South-India. Therefore, growing up, my sister and I enjoyed cuisines of North-India and South-India in equal measures. Lucky, right? Now, whenever someone…

For a chubby girl who perpetually struggles to keep her weight under check, I do have a hard time staying away from potatoes. I mean, who doesn’t love them? I cook potatoes in some form or the other, atleast 3 times a week. Hubby too worships them and thus, it is safe to say that this is…
